About B24CZZZ
B24CZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a ultrasonography procedure on the pericardium using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, ultrasonography means real time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves.
In plain terms, this corresponds to diagnostic ultrasound of heart, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (88.72).
For a different body part, codes include B240ZZZ (coronary artery, single), B241ZZZ (coronary arteries, multiple), B244ZZZ (right heart), B245ZZZ (left heart), B246ZZZ (heart, right and left), B24BZZZ (heart with aorta) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded B24CYZZ (other contrast).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
